Mallet head
« on: April 05, 2016, 11:11:37 am »
Started with a chunk of firewood and a chainsaw and brought a 12" piece of hedge into the shop.


Chucked it up between centers and started turning.



Turned it round then began shaping it.



Going for a slight barrel taper from 4" and 7" OAL



Finished with beeswax, weighs 2lbs 2oz. How's it look JW?

You're right Bob, gotta get ready in case Mr Parker brings summore of that hard as heck crap he brought last year!  :o

Actually, John Q. Talksalotte mentioned needin something in this dimension and I'm just waiting to see if he likes it. Feels a little heavy ta me, but the weight may not be an issue for him. In any case, he wanted to save the handle work for himself.

O man! I just ordered a large spoon gouge from Lee Valley Tools and I think this is gonna pair up nicely for some carving!  The mass of this osage will be really good for handling smaller rogue watermelons, too!

Very nice.  I made one out Ironwood many years ago in the shape of a rubber mallet for processing sinew, still have it.
